Fantastic looking tonka Ian , the camo really suits it! Are the wing pylons glued or loose, they seem to be pointing outwards a bit , they should always be parallel with the fuselage as they pivoted as the wings changed sweep . The old airfix 1/72 actually had working ones connected with thin plastic rods that pivoted as the wings were moved (not mine though , I got glue on em and the rods snapped when i moved the wings!!) 5 star job mate , cheers tony

Thanks Tony no there not glued on but when you put the pylons on you just heat the tip inside the wing so i just bluetacked them on and they move alot when i handeld it so thinking of glueing them on

Thanks to everyone else for the comments and stars If you build this kit get plenty of filler

Great looking Tornado there Ian, the winter scheme seems to highlight the lines of the aircraft better than the usual overall grey or green/grey combo. Good work on the filling and build too.

Very nice. Many have commented on the camo' just like I'm going to. Was it a scheme you had to find or 'in the box' ? I don't think I've ever seen a Tornado in these colours - but do like it.

Nice Tornado Ian.Ive not seen one it that scheme before.

Hi Colin the scheme was in the decal set i bough for this build, but i had seen it on the net before and realy liked it the scheme in the box was of two GermanTornado's

 

[mossiepilot]

Nice one Ian, I really like it in that camo scheme, and first class paint work mate.

Another 5 on the way.

Tony.
